Stuff

[The Doctor]

The audio was fine with me. Yes, the quality suffered a bit, but it was more than adequate.

[raocow]

Yeah, ditto here, man. Like, the sound is different, but it's not really that bad at all. At least, not 'oh man gotta invest tons of money into this thing' bad, not in the slightest.

[peteyboo]

I dunno. I guess I'm just not particularly in the mood right now. Too much stuff going on. Maybe I'll be happier when I get a new gadget to play with.

[peteyboo]

I guess since it's in the title now, here you go

I started playing Hyper 6 a few weeks back, got up to world 8. Decided to do the left fortress first.

...and there is not one good thing I can say about said fortress. It is probably the worst level in the entire hack. Have you attempted it yet?

[peteyboo]

Yeah I've tried it. I spent an hour on a recording attempt and never got past the first room without rewinds. That stupid nearly-impossible-to-time jump at the beginning is the cause.

I'd still say Fishing Fish Guy makes Bowser Stage Right even worse, but again, haven't seen the whole level. Props to Right Fortress for being most unbalanced in terms of midpoint though.

[peteyboo]

In other news, almost getting to the third dungeon is the second-to-last video I have.

I think my headset thing should be in by Tuesday (since things won't be delivered Monday, damn you Washington!), so then I'll be able to make a good audio video and I'll also have had a week or so off playing video games and actually doing some exercise and I should feel much better. Hopefully I can keep up the exercise thing though.

[peteyboo]

Well I finally got my headset in, and I recorded for 2 hours and 15 minutes, getting absolutely nothing.

This level is just... it's not too hard, but the midpoint is insanely misplaced, and there's one jump near the end that's nearly impossible without taking a hit.

Looks like there won't be a new video until at least the weekend. I'm not even in the mood to record Skyward Sword now.

[peteyboo]

This level took far longer than needed.

[peteyboo]

This level took far less time than it probably should have.

[Marcaek]

That vertical segment in the right tower is probably my favorite part of this entire hack.

[Cup]

Also wanted to mention that the vine growning segment is one of the neatest ideas I've seen in a long time. I kind of want to steal the idea and make an a2mt level with it, but that forum is extremely uninspiring at the moment.

Good job peteyboo. Your videos inspire cross-forum promotion.

[morsel/morceau]

Remember in a vertical level the screens are stacked on top of each other, so if you lose something you have to go up or down to get it to reappear (scrolling is useless). Also this is the reason the statues stopped firing.

It's a shame/boon in this endgame there are neat things hidden amongst incredibly unpleasant sections.

[peteyboo]

To everyone: Yeah I also liked the idea of the vine thing. I'm just wondering how it's 9 coins because of that when the next level is much more difficult, at least for me.

Good job peteyboo. Your videos inspire cross-forum promotion.

What?

Remember in a vertical level the screens are stacked on top of each other, so if you lose something you have to go up or down to get it to reappear (scrolling is useless). Also this is the reason the statues stopped firing.

Yeah I figured out how the vertical scrolling worked for replacing the grey and/or math platforms early, but never realized it worked the same for the 1-up block. I guess I was confused by its horizontal movement?

But why does that stop the statues from firing? not that I'm complaining or anything

[Marcaek]

I seriously wonder if Haimari TASed through playtesting.

Also, that fortress is the worst level in the game hands down. I found out that the green spiny balls can be killed with fire but a lot of good that does really.

[peteyboo]

Just a warning: Today's video does not finish the level. It's just something to upload really. A lot of rage and whatnot.

But hey, I found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_FfkqoZNcE

It's an LP of Hyper 6 in French! With tools, but oh well. So raocow, you should totally like that! He seems like someone who watches your videos haha. And you can tell us what he's saying; I took five years of French, but he talks way too fast for me.

Also, Hyper 1 and Hyper 3 in German (also with tools).

Now all we need is an LP of 4...

[Marcaek]

that guy seems terrible

Also on second thought I wonder if Haimari playtested Hyper 6 at all. I mean the good parts are great, but the bad parts are terrible.

[peteyboo]

Which guy? The French guy seemed pretty good without tools. The German guy is one who rewinds after every time he gets hit. Yeah that sucks, but there's no other run of those games that I know of. It's interesting to see how Haimari slowly descended into madness or something.

Anyway, I finally finish this level through sheer luck and possibly a bit of determination.

[Marcaek]

The Sewerside City map music is "Fear factory" from Donkey Kong Country, just fyi.

[peteyboo]

Pretty much barely worth it

[Marcaek]

The left tower is ruined by the weird clipping issues IMO. BTW sliding kills a lot more than you'd think

also yes reverse water would be great totally not going to happen in hyper 7

[peteyboo]

Something no one will watch

[Marcaek]

It's not completely unlikely that I'll be playing that in the near future, so I don't want to spoil it for myself.

[peteyboo]

Yeah that seems to be most of the problem.

I need something to fill in the days that Hyper 6 is too much, but I don't really have anything else on a console. I don't want to do another Mario game right now, so hacks are out of the question. I play too many handheld games I guess.
